note: while this is an easy way up chicken rock, keep in mind that this route is fairly exposed, so if you are someone who gets dizzy on heights, climbing up this way is highly dangerous. If you aren't a confident climber but you lack fear of heights then this is a solid way for you to climb up this part of the mountain.

The one thing realy good about these mountains is that the crux of the climbs are at the bottom. If you are not confident to get up chicken rock the traditional way then, may be you should not climb. Climb slowly with your weight over your feet. On sloping slabs, don't hug the rock. There are plenty of good hand holds to be found if you look for them. Look around for the best and safest way to go. The direct approach may not be the best way. Climb with style. If you get jelly knee then just stop, it will pass.
